Trump complains about the non-existent Sharia Law that has apparently been imposed on London, then actually imposes Martial Law on US cities... how is this happening in the "Land of the Free"?
It’s starting to feel like martial law with troops being sent into city after city. Trump announced on social media that he’s deploying forces to Portland, escalating his campaign of targeting Democrat-led cities with military presence.

Newsom: Police should police—not the military. That’s what happens in third-world countries, and that’s exactly what Donald Trump is trying to impose on the American people: a mindset of militarization, power, dominance, and control—not the rule of law. This is a very, very serious moment.

England could face water shortages within a decade.

Since 1989 population, homes increased - 25 reservoirs sold off, no new ones, no desalination plants, 1 trillion liters of water a year lost to leaks.

Companies borrowed to pay dividends. No forward planning.

Disaster made by privatisation.
Government fast-tracks new reservoirs to secure water supply
Changes to planning laws could speed up projects, but experts warn water consumption will also need limiting.

Most of the people who talk of little but migration also deny climate change, which will create such vast numbers of migrants that the dinghy crossings will look like a tea party.

Ironically it may take this surge to persuade those who refuse to read any climate science.

Absolutely this. We don't "hold all the cards", and never did except in the fanatical and fantastical view of swivel-eyes loons such as Frost, Gove, Farage, Johnson and Braverman.

Negotiation is a matter of give and take.
A reminder for today: trade offs exist. It’s fantasy land (Westminster) to pretend they don’t. Moreover Britain isn’t all powerful- to get what we want, we have to give. It’s also worth remembering that parts of the TCA were designed to be renegotiated and was not an end point.

I had to go to A&E and was looked after by some wonderful people, many were what Starmer calls “foreign labour”.

I apologised and thanked them for all they do, but one Englishman got angry with a nurse bc she pronounced his name Hadrian, not Adrian.

This is what Starmer has underscored.
May 12, 2025 at 7:53 PM
Absolutely this. Why are most of our politicians in denial at the obvious harm that this course of action has caused? Being politically scared of Farage and Reform is not an excuse. Bold action is needed.

UK must 'do everything' to rebuild trade with EU, says Bank boss
Andrew Bailey told the BBC that as a public official he did not take a view on Brexit, but that reversing the post Brexit hit to UK-EU trade would be "beneficial".

"Last week, Trump acknowledged the potential impact of tariffs. American children might "have two dolls instead of 30 dolls" he said, but added that China would suffer more than the US." (BBC)

So if the US cuts off one of its legs, Trump promises that China will cut off both of theirs?!?
Demented.

Bang on.

But sadly, it seems that many voters *are* that gullible.
Mr Farage, somethings bothering me. You asked people to vote for Brexit and it turned out disastrously. Rather than emigrate as you promised to do if Brexit failed, you now want people to trust you to fix the problems it caused.
Do you think voters are gullible Mr Farage? Sir?

I know that McD's say it's price pressure, but I think they're trying to ignore the inevitable slump that comes with any association with Trump (look at what's happening to Musk and Tesla!).

They should never have given him that job at their Philadelphia branch! 😜

Looks like Zelenskyy is actually getting his point across, since the ambush party and the press corps is not encouraging Trump to show off like a little schoolboy.
Possibly the news photo of the decade.
